Regulation FD Disclosure

On May 22, 2012, Burger King Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), the indirect parent of Burger King Holdings, Inc., will present material non-public information regarding the Company’s last five quarters on a consolidated basis and by operating segment at an analyst meeting at the Company’s Miami headquarters. A copy of the information presented at the meeting is included in this Form 8-K.

We evaluate our restaurants and assess our business based on the following operating metrics and key financial measures:

•

Sales growth refers to the change in sales at all Company and franchise restaurants in one period from the same period in the prior year. We review sales growth as an operating metric to help identify and assess trends in restaurant sales for the Burger King system as a whole, without distortion from the effects of refranchised or acquired restaurants.

•

Comparable sales growth refers to the change in restaurant sales in one period from the same prior year period for restaurants that have been opened for thirteen months or longer.

•

Net restaurant growth (“NRG”) represents the opening of new restaurants during a stated period, net of closures.

•

Net refranchisings refer to sales of Company restaurants to franchisees, net of acquisitions of franchise restaurants by us.

•

Company restaurant margin, or CRM, is derived by subtracting Company restaurant expenses from Company restaurant revenues for a stated period, and is typically analyzed as a percentage of Company restaurant revenues, a metric we refer to as Company restaurant margin %, or CRM %. Company restaurant expenses are comprised of food, paper and product costs, payroll and employee benefits (“labor” costs) and occupancy and other operating costs, which include rent and depreciation and amortization related to restaurant properties (“occupancy and other operating” costs). Food, paper and product costs vary with sales volume, while labor and occupancy costs are primarily fixed costs with variable components. We review the relationship between our Company restaurant expenses and Company restaurant revenues in the context of how those relationships affect CRM and CRM %.

•

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude specifically identified items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. These items include share-based compensation and non-cash compensation expense, other operating (income) expenses, net, and all other specifically identified costs associated with non-recurring projects; Transaction costs, global restructuring and related professional fees, field optimization project costs and global portfolio realignment project costs. We use adjusted EBITDA as our measure of segment income.

•

Adjusted net income is used by management to evaluate and forecast earnings from ongoing operations excluding the impact of unusual items. This measure is used by management to evaluate and forecast earnings from ongoing operations.

Comparable sales and sales growth are measured on a constant currency basis, which means the results exclude the effect of foreign currency translation and are calculated by translating current year results at prior year exchange rates. We analyze certain key financial measures on a constant currency basis as this helps identify underlying business trends, without distortion from the effects of currency movements (“FX impact”).

The following tables present our financial results, including operating metrics and key financial measures for the last five quarters on a consolidated basis and by operating segment: (1) the U.S. and Canada; (2) Europe, the Middle East and Africa, or EMEA; (3) Latin America and the Caribbean, or LAC; and (4) Asia Pacific, or APAC. Tabular amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise noted.
